Infrastructure Improvements in Four Mile Run Update

The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority will host a community meeting to provide an update on the drinking water and stormwater improvements coming to Four Mile Run and their anticipated next steps. On Tuesday, October 19, PWSA will host a community meeting to provide an update about each project and anticipated construction schedules. 

Please join PWSA to learn about the infrastructure upgrades coming to the Run and Junction Hollow neighborhoods. These improvements will upgrade aging infrastructure, improve service reliability, and provide needed flood relief. 

M29 Outfall Construction Update: The existing combined sewer outfall on the Monongahela River is almost complete with construction to structurally enhance the culvert from the late 1800s. 

48-inch Transmission Main: PWSA will replace an existing drinking water transmission main within Schenley Park along the CSX railroad to improve drinking water quality and longevity of the system. The work will take place between Four Mile Run Park and Panther Hollow Lake. 

Panther Hollow Lake: Stormwater improvements to Panther Hollow Lake will enable us to manage the depth of the lake and control the volume of water entering the combined sewer system.  

Junction Hollow: Stormwater improvements will follow the path of the former Junction Hollow Stream. This portion of the project will channel rainwater, restore streambanks, and plant native and climate tolerant vegetation.  

Connection to the River: A deep gravity pipe will be installed to convey stormwater from Schenley Park and the Run Neighborhood to the Monongahela River.
